GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[Fredd-E]

fredd-e noticed that the Featured Channels on the Boards of Canada YouTube channel have been removed. Which lead me to check if anyone else had noticed.

Unfortunately, we don't know when exactly they were removed. We're pretty sure they were still there on the 22nd, when all the other stuff was removed, but we can't be certain because no one ever screenshotted that page on that day.

It's likely they were removed at the same time as everything else was, on 2022-11-22, and no one noticed.

It's also noteworthy to mention the Hell Interface channel still features the Boards of Canada channel, but not the other way around. Maybe they forgot to wipe the Hell Interface featured channels.

Still it's weird to cut ties between both of their aliases?

Using the Wayback Machine, the best we can do is see that they were there on 2022-08-01


and according to niski, of the TMW discord server, they were already gone on 2022-11-27


and today, 2022-11-30, they are still missing


It's likely they were removed at the same time as everything else was, on 2022-11-22, and no one noticed.

If someone here could prove they were there any time after 2022-08-01, that would be very helpful.

They were there the last week, I'm sure because I checked all the BoC related pages during my monthly routine inspection xD.

Looks like they have started a kind of countdown.

@Dolochov

Ooh what kind of countdown? I'm still kinda hyped by this news

[shayjakespeare]

I visited the featured channels page on 21st Nov and I can confirm the channels were still there.

[luminousdusk]

Love the confirmation bias going on here sometimes lol

[dolochov]

My internet search history can't lie, I checked the page on november 18.

It's just my opinion. They are progressively removing stuff which will ultimately lead to a new release or eternal radio silence.

Please elaborate.

This is interesting news. Are you absolutely certain? Browser history check?

[Davism]

I'm just wondering if they are removing channels/comments for a clean slate or to see if we notice. I can't get over how banal and strange this activity feels.

The link from BoC YouTube channel to their Bleep page is no longer working.

[Davism]

Strange. Their page is still up on bleep though.

[Orbited insanitarium]

Honey, I shrunk the activity. Which therein created more activity.

Boards, you just cannae win.

Just referring to like.. Boards post a new YouTube comment = must mean album is coming

Boards delete a YouTube comment = must mean album is coming lol

That's all

Was just reading their interview 'nice melodies from nice people'

They say "we have an agreement (with warp) that we can continue to release material on other labels, but not under that name (Boards of Canada)"

So I'm wondering if maybe there has been a contractual issue with warp regarding the promotion of Hell Interface via the BoC moniker?

The scary part is that they might already be releasing music under names and we don't know about it.
